What happens when we take off our own cultural glasses and see the text as ancient Israelites did? When we carefully translate the original Hebrew? When we see how Jews and Christians interpret the same story in very different ways? When we see how feminists understand it (and why they don't agree)? Is the story of Adam and Eve good news, or bad news, or a bit of both?
